The Peasants' (or Great) Revolt - a podcast by Royal Holloway History Dept

Episode 4 sees Sam discuss the Peasants' Revolt of 1381.  The Peasants’ Revolt was the first time that the commons, rather than the nobility, rebelled against Royal Authority en masse.  

But what caused the rebellion and, after its failure, did it make any difference to society?  Lastly, Sam asks Is it time we stopped using the term 'Peasants' Revolt' to describe the great uprising of 1381?
